[close] “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Maya Angelou I feel like I have seen through the "smoke and mirrors" of the "American Dream" since the pandemic. This group is about stepping out of our comfort zones by picking up and reading things we would not necessarily pick up on our own. This group is not about being right or wrong, its about discussing what you are learning as we go. This group is being moderated by a 44 y/o privileged white woman who now knows better and wants to do better. I am never done learning. I make mistakes. I can be wrong or misinformed, and I am always willing to discuss that.
